He didn't sound to me like putting it out there just to stop such headcanons from taking place. He honestly seemed to think that way. As the person who brings the character to life, Dan obviously thought a lot about what Vergil must think: and what he said on the stream sounded like a logical result of what headcanons he has about him.

I won't argue that Dan could've possibly considered it a good side-result, though... provided he actually cares about what Internet thinks that much.
